Ege Port Kuşadası, the gateway to the famous ancient city of Ephesus and a port of Global Ports Holding, will host the 54th MedCruise General Assembly. During the General Assembly, MedCruise members, along with other distinguished guests such as cruise line executives and international press representatives, will discuss the latest developments in the cruise sector and the state of the industry, as well as the implications and expectations for cruising in the Mediterranean and its adjacent seas.
Home to ancient Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary, Kusadasi is a historic city. With a bustling cruise port and Blue Flag beaches, Kusadasi is a top tourist destination. It offers a wonderful contrast between the vibrant life of a resort town and the serenity of ancient ruins. Enjoying a typical Mediterranean climate of hot summers and mild winters, the region benefits from a long tourist season, and Kusadasi is undoubtedly one of Turkey's most beautiful holiday destinations.
As a member of MedCruise, the association of cruise ports in the Mediterranean and its adjacent seas, now with 70 port members representing more than 120 ports in the Mediterranean region and adjacent seas, and 33 associate members, Kusadasi will host the 54th MedCruise General Assembly, which is a leading event in the cruise business.
